Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Haha you're good man and thank you. Then I am just goina stick with the Cumpton + Wilson deal. Maybe convert Wilson to a starter

That's an idea. Give him a spot start or two and see how it works out

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Awesome, thanks for the help, and that's what I figured about Barnes.
Does this seem fair/unbalanced:

SD Receives:
Middlebrooks - 3B
Doubront - SP
B. Johnson - SP

BOS Receives:
Street - CL
Ross - SP/RP

How does this look? Should I add anything on my SD side, as far as a prospect, or sub Ross for someone else? It always feels like I'm not giving the CPU enough (no matter the trade). Also, Ross is pitching really well in the mid-rotation spot in SD, so it's not like they're getting a complete bum, and like you said, he could eat some innings in relief if need be.

Doubront for Ross is a wash.

Street is barely half of WMB's value according to the sheet and Johnson is another high C.

Ross and Street together almost makes up for WMB's value.

What else can you spare? Venable would be a nice fit in Boston

Haha i'll probably give him a few minor league first and see how it goes

I could probably trade Venable. It's not ideal, with Seth Smith and Denorfia set to become FA's at the end of the season, but that's probably what it would take - due to the Padre's lack of talent.

Thanks, Totte. This is a trade I'll keep in mind all season long, and will probably end up doing in the offseason. Now, I just have to hope somehow:

A.) WMB can put it together in SD after Headley leaves, or at least be serviceable.
B.) Doubront regains form and can eat some innings while some youngsters develop in AA/AAA.
C.) B. Johnson can reach that No. 3/4 starter potential.

Woah, unless WMB is playing WAY above his head Street for him straight up seems too much, Boston may have to add a small C SP as well. WMB is not a good player, he is a worse Mark Trumbo (dude has power, bout it), less power and OBP no bueno as well.


Maybe you are still looking at the prospect Middlebrooks, but the MLB version has been dreadful and has lost his starting role. Again, don't know the stats but he is not worth a ton.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Do any of you guys think the Yankees have what it takes to get Samardzija, Sale, Cashner, Hamels, Lee or Corbin?

Sale and Cashner have both been on the DL most of the year with both having around 30 inning pitched at the ASB

Samardzija, Hamels, and Lee are all doing really well

Patrick Corbin is struggling with a 5.17 ERA and an OPP BA of .271

The Phillies are the only one of those teams still in serious contention and the D-Backs are 6GB in the wild card but 14.5 back in their division. All other teams are out of it.

I would never trade Street for Middlebrooks straight up. I would ask for much more. Nor would I ever trade Tyson Ross for Middlebrooks. Street is a very solid closer and isn't even that old. He warrants way more than a bad 3B.

Also adding onto my post about getting some pitching for New York what about on the offensive side. Any way they could get Chase Headley Jason Kipnis or Matt Carpenter?

Zero chance. The Yankees don't have top-end talent and sending 3 or 4 B's wouldn't get it done.

Headley is a possibility as is Carpenter. Kipnis is a longshot.

No way. Those are all aces. In order to get any of those you would have to give up Robertson or Ellsbury or something. Prospect wise? No. If you wanna trade major league talent then easily yes.

Headley easily. If you upgrade Betances a bit and up his overall (that's what I did to mimic his real life play) you can trade Betances and Gohara for Headley

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

At the end of April has the Padres and I am interested in Foltynewicz from Houston and was wondering if a Mid B from the spread sheet would do it? Currently he has a 6.52 ERA

Yeah, never would trade an established solid closer for a at this point AAAA 3B. Ross for Brooks is iffy, but if I was the Padres I definitely wouldn't do it just due to how their park plays.


Then I didn't quote but see you are asking for Folt, he is a 22 year old lefty arm if I am not mistaken? Not on PS3, I would give them back a B to B+ arm in return just as a SP swap. I know the Padres system has plenty of arms you can do that with.

Not a realistic trade....Houston is likely to be bad and unlikely to trade a Top 3 pitching prospect of theirs who throws 100 mph. Especially true so early in the year. Stats don't really mean anything on April 30th.

Only way I could see this happening is if the Astros were contending....years from now....and even then I'm still not sure if Luhnow would part with spects that he's been so fond in accumulating himself.

If realism isn't your thing, then I am sure you could swing something.

He's a righty who throws in the triple digits.

He is only an 84 potential though. I'm in year 2 btw
